The individual suspected of attempted theft riding the E train on a different day.

A woman who was the victim of an attempted robbery on the E Train found her wannabe thief napping on the same train nearly two weeks later — and snapped a photo of the culprit, cops said.

The 58-year-old woman was on a northbound E train at about 5 a.m. on March 10 when she was approached by a man who demanded she hand over her purse before attempting to grab it from her, according to police.

She managed to hang onto the purse and the suspect bolted from the train when it stopped at Lexington Avenue.

On March 22 the woman was in the subway at about 5 a.m. again when she spotted the thief dozing off on the same train line.
